It must be true, cause I'm an Illinois Yankee and I don't understand or agree with 95% of them. =)
Cute!
Oh, my God. I think I might be from Georgia. I love this place.
I'm originally from Texas and live in Oklahoma now and that could go for both of those places too....funny!!!
Hee the Chick Fil A..is funny and so true. Only on Sunday do I crave the sweet tea!

I loved this! This could definitely go for Oklahomans too... especially the part about the snow flake closing everything down.
I call shopping carts buggys... I guess that is an Oklahoma thing too. LOL... too funny. Have a great weekend.

I {heart} Georgia!
Very cute! I enjoyed this!

Hi Carrie~
I loved this post! I think Georgia and Florida are very similar because...my mom grew up in Florida and so we grew up with some of these things and the only ones I knew was a "southern thing" was the sweet tea and saying sir and ma'am... (I grew up with sweet tea SO sweet you might as well be eating sugar cubes...) Also, when my husband and I lived in Maryland, people were always asking me if I was from Russia or somewhere out of the States. It just cracked me up! Must have been that Yankee accent! :)
I hope you have a great time at your sister's baby shower! :) Your sister must be so excited about it! :)
Those were so funny!! I loved the last one-so true!! I remember watching House Hunters one day, and Suzanne Wang saying DeKalb with an a like a spanish a (ah) not like how we say it. Decab, you know!! That L is silent!!
Elise
That was too funny! I think a lot of that could pertain to NC too. I love the South!!!!
Those were very funny and it is so true about the soda thing throughout the whole south. My hubby who is from Alabam calls all soda, coke. Go figure. I'll never get him reformed.
